Passages is Warsaw and New York-based artist Maria Kozak’s (b. 1981, Krakow, PL) second exhibition with Dreamsong and features eight new paintings and a large dual-sided painted folding screen. Kozak’s psychological portraits and landscapes allude to an undercurrent of energy coursing through human existence. A descendant of dowsers, alchemists and Polish mystics, her fluid, moody paintings are driven by existential inquiries into the nature of reality and the construction of society. Kozak's paintings are characterized by dissolving forms, layered narratives and ambiguity that carry forth traditions from German Expressionism, Surrealism, Psychedelia and the Transavantgarde.

Dreamsong is pleased to present Day after Day, the gallery’s inaugural solo exhibition with Los Angeles-based artist Rema Ghuloum (b. 1978, North Hollywood, CA). Featuring seven new paintings, the works in Day after Day frame layered and sanded veils of oil paint within multihued, impastoed borders, transforming a series of discrete, contemplative gestures into contrasting plays of light, shadow and color that unfold with the sublime depth of landscape. Emphasizing the physicality of feeling and emotion, Ghuloum uses compositional tension and contrasting colors to evoke, hold and reconcile opposing sensations.
